Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Schertz, TX
Air duct cleaning in Schertz runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs completed in one visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our Schertz work around what actually fails in this market: builder-grade flex duct sagging through 140°F+ attic summers, and pollen loads from cedar and oak that Northern crews never encounter. Our dispatch team coordinates from our San Antonio office, and our crews serve Schertz directly. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Schertz Homes Are Different
Schertz sits on the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone along the I-35 corridor, and most of its housing went up in the last 25 years as the city exploded into a bedroom community. That means tract-built slab-on-grade homes in subdivisions like Wortham Oaks and along the FM 3009 corridor, with flexible round duct shoved through blown-in insulation attics. Not rigid metal. Not accessible. The kind of ductwork that sags, tears at joints, and hides problems under a foot of fiberglass.
Our attics routinely hit 130 – 150°F from June through September. That extreme heat degrades duct insulation, loosens mastic seals, and creates condensate issues Northern markets never see. Spring cedar and oak pollen seasons coat everything inside the system, and summer dust off the blackland prairie loads return runs with fine caliche particulate. The older pockets near downtown Schertz and the Historic District carry a different problem: 1960s – 70s ranch homes with original metal ducts that have accumulated decades of settled dust without any prior cleaning.
The single most common airflow complaint we hear in Schertz’s newer tract homes is a torn flex run buried in attic insulation, completely invisible from the registers below. A technician who only cleans from inside the house misses it every time.
Our Main Schertz Services
Schertz homeowners call us for three core jobs, each shaped by the local housing stock and climate conditions described above.
Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz
We clean the full supply and return network using a rotary brush system and negative-air method, pulling dislodged debris back through a sealed vacuum rather than blowing it into your living space. In Schertz, this means addressing pollen buildup from cedar season, caliche dust infiltration, and the biological growth that forms when 140°F attic heat meets humid Gulf-coast air. We inspect flex-duct runs in the attic for sags and disconnects while we’re up there. Air Duct Cleaning in Schertz covers our full process and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Schertz
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires nationwide, and Schertz’s newer subdivisions often have long vent runs through exterior walls or up through attics that trap lint in ways older homes don’t. We clear the full run from dryer to termination using rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools, then verify airflow with a meter. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Schertz explains our full safety check and what’s included.
Duct Sealing in Schertz
Sealing in Schertz means addressing the specific failure modes of flex-duct systems: loose joints, degraded mastic, and gaps where duct meets the plenum. We use duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners rated for the thermal cycling these attics see, then pressure-test the system to verify results. This is often the fix for rooms that never cool evenly despite a “clean” duct system. Duct Sealing in Schertz details our process and pricing.
